Airport Information:

The primary airport for the area is the Hong Kong Airport (HKG). [PDF]

Travel from the airport:

By Taxi

A Taxi [PDF] from the airport to HKU costs approximately 350 HKD. The taxi stands are located between Terminals 1 and 2. To go to the taxi stands, follow the signs labelled "to city". If you arrive in Terminal 1, go to the middle of the arrivals hall and cross to the other side (towards Terminal 2) and then turn to exit on the left. If you arrive in Terminal 2, then you will walk towards Terminal 1 and turn right.

There are three different groups of taxis (Urban, New Territories, and Lantau) which service different areas in Hong Kong. In order to go to HKU, you will need to take the red (Urban) taxi. [PDF]

An address card for the taxi driver (including Chinese characters) may be found here or here.

By MTR (Metro/Subway)

See the Hong Kong Metro Map [PDF] and also the exits and building information near the HKU MTR station.

First take the Airport Express Train to Hong Kong Station (115 HKD); upon exiting into the arrivals hall in the airport from Terminal 1, the Airport Express trains are located directly in front of you in the middle. Hong Kong Station is connected underground to Central Station, and then one takes the MTR from Central Station to HKU station. [PDF]

Alternatively, after taking the Airport Express Train to Hong Kong Station, one can then take a taxi inside Hong Kong Island. Directions for the taxi driver to Robert Black College from the Airport Express exit can be found here.
